To become a completer of the refresher program, students must complete 24 academic units.
The Law Enhancement – Refresher Program is a specialized academic initiative designed for graduates of the Juris Doctor program who are preparing to retake the Philippine Bar Examination. Recognizing the unique needs of repeat examinees, the program offers a focused and structured review of core bar subjects, recent jurisprudential developments, and tested principles of law.
In the Philippines, a refresher course for law typically requires completing 24 units of coursework. This requirement is often mandated for those who have failed the bar exam multiple times before being allowed to retake it. The specific subjects covered in the refresher course align with the fourth-year level of the Juris Doctor program and include subjects like Civil Law Review, Commercial Law Review, and Remedial Law Review.
Through intensive lectures, diagnostic assessments, and practical exercises, the program aims to rebuild confidence, reinforce legal mastery, and provide renewed strategies for effective bar preparation. It serves not only as a knowledge refresher but also as a source of academic and emotional support for aspiring lawyers on their path to passing the bar.
